Hello and welcome to our live commentary of this important second Test-match of the three-match Test series as South Africa host Ireland at Ellis Park in Johannesburg.

0'

Springboks coach Allister Coetzee has made five changes to his matchday 23 ? four of them necessitated by injury ? as the South Africans look to bounce back from last weekend?s 26-20 defeat in the three-Test series? opener in Cape Town. The two changes in the starting line-up are because of injury, with Pieter-Steph du Toit and Elton Jantjies replacing Lood de Jager and Pat Lambie respectively, while the Lions duo of Franco Mostert and Ruan Combrinck are on the bench and could make their Test debut at their home ground. In the final change, Morne Steyn is added to the bench as fly-half cover.

Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt has made five changes to his starting line-up that beat South Africa 26-20 in Cape Town last weekend. Former Stormers lock Quinn Roux will make his first start for Ireland against the country of his birth and Iain Henderson will move to the blindside flank as Rhys Ruddock takes over at openside. Conor Murray and Paddy Jackson are retained at half-back, while Robbie Henshaw is joined in the centre by Ulster's Stuart Olding, who is set for his first start since his debut against the USA three years ago. Craig Gilroy is introduced on the left wing for his eighth cap, making it an all-Ulster back-three alongside Andrew Trimble and full-back Jared Payne. Sean Reidy and Tiernan O'Halloran are the two uncapped players on the bench and they are joined by Richardt Strauss, Dave Kilcoyne, Finlay Bealham, Donnacha Ryan, Kieran Marmion and Ian Madigan.

South Africa have found it hard going against Ireland in recent history having lost two games on the trot to Ireland, 26-20 in Cape Town last weekend and 29-15 in Dublin in 2014. The Springboks last victory over Ireland came back in 2012 with a 16-12 victory in Dublin. Ireland meanwhile have their tails up after last weekend''s epic result in Cape Town. A victory this weekend will put them in exalted company as it will mean they will become only the third team in the professional era ? along with the 1996 All Blacks and the 1997 British and Irish Lions ? to win a three-Test series in South Africa.

The anthems are performed with plenty of passion shown from both teams. We await referee Angus Gardner to get us underway here.
